So basically Lazada and 11street have sellers selling iPhone that is imported set I think from the US. The price for these imported sets are cheaper than usual( you can search iPhone 7plus 32GB basically less than RM3k most likely is imported set).

So I have these questions bangwall.gif :

1) How come these imported set phones have Malaysia Apple Warranty? Is it the users now can claim warranty anywhere in the world? If is true why not everyone just imports from the US and sell cheaper price?

2) Come across comments on Facebook where Apple fans share their thoughts, some of them said that imported sets often have cellular problems(low signal). Anyone here could answer this questions? Checking the review of the products often do not have people saying about the cellular status. Also will Sim Card like Maxis Digi U Mobile going to have issues ? Hope someone can answer my questions!

the issue is..seller in lazada/11street can be anyone, can be Ali, Ahkao or Muthu unless they stated there this is official store of machines/mac city, etc.

Do prepare yourself for the risk of these lower price AP set

But who cares if Ali, Ahkao or Muthu sells something that Apple Malaysia gives warranty?

Definitely know the risk, just asking if it worth taking it or not since the price is lower by RM500, tongue.gif since got warranty if spoil or issues just bring to Apple Malaysia.

2. Cellular problem is due to the frequency band that the model has. Example as below I have taken for IP6 Plus Model.
You need to check which model they're sending and compare which telco you're using before purchase.
How does the seller knows the frequency band of the iPhone they are selling? Should I just get the origin of the iPhone and then google it? notworthy.gif

I also realise there is 2 model for iPhone 7 plus :
A1661(United States, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong and China) and
A1784(European and Asian countries like the UK, France, etc)


A1661 with the support of TD-SCDMA and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A bands while the A1784 do not, basically the A1661 is better? Do Malaysian need the support of these networks? And how do I find out which version, is it written on the box?
